Energy-Efficient Home Rennovations

With Earth Day fast approaching on April 22, you might be feeling inspired to make your home greener this year. Two of the best ways to increase energy-efficiency and lower your bills is to consider replacing your old, worn out doors and windows. Drafty windowpanes and poorly insulated door frames are huge sources of waste, and they are unfriendly both to the environment and to your wallet. Luckily, we offer replacement solutions with quick, easy installations at affordable prices. Read on below to find out more about our Earth-conscious home fixtures and how you can save money in the long-term by reducing costly energy waste.

Windows

Our windows are all made using High-Performance Low-E4 glass. High-Performance Low-E4 glass is special, because it is proven to reduce both heating and cooling bills through their excellent manufacturing process that supports quality insulation and sunlight activation. Their durable design effectively keeps out driving winds and rain, and they are also shown to stay cleaner and reduce water spotting. No matter what shape or type of window needed, we can guarantee to meet your aesthetic sensibilities with our numerous options of colors, wood types, grilles, screens, and hardware.

Doors

When it comes to greener doors, we can either replace the entire unit or add an enclosure to improve its insulation. Our doors come from the quality manufacturer ProVia, who offers a wide range of color and stain options, and are fabricated out of durable steel, wood, or fiberglass. They're designed for long-term durability and to resist all weather conditions. ProVia doors maintain a draft-free interior environment, which allows for greater energy efficiency and consumer comfort. The ability to choose between wood, steel, and fiberglass allows you, the homeowner, to select the best option for your needs. If you live in an area with rougher weather conditions or have children prone to door slamming, a steel door is your best bet. Fiberglass doors offer amazing energy efficiency and are low maintenance to upkeep, but they are slightly more delicate by comparison.Call or contact us today to schedule a free in-home consultation.
